Comparison of Methods for Pulse Generator Calibration

By Martin Hudlicka, Marco A Azpúrua, and Murat Celep

This detailed analysis offers a comparison of various calibration methods for pulse generators according to IEC/EN 55016-1-1 (CISPR 16-1-1), where the spectrum amplitude is measured using different methods and then the results are compared and the measurement uncertainty is determined.

The Evolutionary Path to the 100 Amp Micromodule Regulator

By Tony Armstrong

A micromodule device resembles a surface mount IC; however, they include all the necessary support components that would normally be used to construct a power conversion circuit. This includes a DC/DC controller, MOSFET dice, magnetics, capacitors and resistors and so on, all mounted on a thermally efficient laminate substrate. They are then encapsulated using a plastic mold cap. The result was a complete power supply that can be simply adhered to a printed circuit board. Read about the evolution of this device.

Coilcraft Introduces New High-inductance Shielded Power Inductors

Coilcraft’s new XAL7050 Series of high-temperature power inductors is available with inductance values from 22 to 47 µH and current ratings as high as 5.5 Amps, with low DCR for greater efficiency. For lower inductance values, Coilcraft offers a lower-profile companion, the XAL7030, with an identical footprint and inductance range of 0.16 to 10 µH.
